Chapter 34: Striking Iron
Ari didn't know what Algert was saying about him, but he wouldn't mind if he did—no matter what Algert thought, he had to do the sabotage, after all, he was a very principled person......
Ari followed Algert to the courtyard, where there were two low wooden stakes, waist-circumscribed to the size of an adult with his hands together, one tall and one short, each topped with a thick iron block of matching the size.
A trace of regret flashed in his eyes, it was obvious that this was an anvil customized for the two of them, and he was afraid that he would not have the opportunity to smash the blacksmith shop again in the future.
"From this day onwards, you will use this hammer to strike iron on the anvil three times a day...... A hundred times, when you finish knocking, you can leave, and when I think you can use the hammer correctly, I will teach you something new. ”
Algert looked at the two of them with contempt, and the mockery in his eyes was not hidden. It's like telling them plainly, I look down on you two scumbags!
The effect is not bad, Algert saw a fire in Gal's eyes, and this is what he wanted!, however, he moved his gaze to Ari's body and immediately deflated, and Ari looked lazy, and the look in his eyes seemed to tell him that I had seen through your routine......
Reducing the number to a hundred is to take care of Gal, and from Ari's previous performance, Algert feels that the number has a very small impact on him, and no amount of it will be of great use. But even if it's a hundred, with Garr's current age, he may not be able to do it now.
"Now, I'm going to do a demonstration, and you guys have a good look. With that, he gently lifted the hammer and thrashed the piece of iron, without any fancy movements. His movements weren't too fast, but he was incredibly steady.
After the demonstration, he gave up the place and motioned with his eyes that the two apprentices could start.
After reading it, Ari stayed where he was, his mind full of Algert's figure, the simpler the action, the more difficult it was to imitate, because it meant that there was no superfluous action, there were only the most essential things. And such movements are never something that can be practiced overnight.
After a while, Eri's eyes finally lit up. He confidently picked up his hammer, walked to the low anvil, took a deep breath, followed Algert's example, raised the hammer, and smashed it!
Algert watched his movements and let out a maliciously laughing heartily.
Sure enough, after the violent collision, the iron on the anvil didn't know where it flew!
After a while, his eyes lit up, and he ran to the slightly higher anvil and took the piece of iron back and put it on his own, ready again.
However, the iron flew again in response......
Garr: "......"
"Accidental...... I'm going to get it back. Ari said with a smile as he looked at Gar.
After several tests, Ari determined that it was the problem of the iron itself, and it flew when it was smashed, but it couldn't be stopped......
"There's something wrong with your piece of iron!" said Ari straight to Aljet, with great certainty.
"Oh, what's the problem?" said Algert, lazily.
"It'......," said Ari, who didn't know how to describe it.
"Do you want me to show you again?" Algert laughed.
When Ari saw Algert's attitude, he knew that he had done it, and turned around decisively, since this is the case, there is nothing to say, think about it yourself.
So the yard was full of two figures—every time they smashed it, they had to pick up pieces of iron, and they were busy running around the yard.
It wasn't until late evening that Gal had completed his task with difficulty, while Ari had already done it, leaving him at the blacksmith shop to wait for Gal
Tolkien had already left after arranging things in the afternoon, he still had a lot of things to do, and now that the goal of coming here has been achieved, there is no need for him to stay here.
When Tolkien leaves, Ari says that as a senior brother, he wants to take care of Gal in his territory, and invites Gal to live in his house, Tolkien agrees after a little thought, believing that Ari should have no ill intentions.
Despite this, he still left Jeff here, one is to protect Gal secretly, and the other purpose is to find out the news of Ari and the two Magisters, after all, a family with Magisters, even he has to be careful.
Will his home be very broken, what attitude should I use to refuse, will he be angry if he refuses, will he be angry, will he be angry, Garr has been thinking about this question all the way, as a royal family, he has received a different education from others since he was a child, and he naturally thinks a little more......
"Is this your house?" asked Gal in disbelief as he reached the castle gate.
"That's right. Ari smiled and nodded.
"Can I live here?" said Gal with tears in his eyes, happiness coming too suddenly.
If his father is gone, if he is allowed to live in a tavern like that again, he is afraid that he will collapse in the face of the terrifying-looking tavern owner, and the gap between the rich clothes and food that he has lived since he was a child and suddenly comes to a backward small village, is too great! His lack of tantrum only shows that the education he received since childhood is really too inhumane......
Eri is sorry for him, he is a good second generation official, but he has no temper at all, he simply loses the face of the second generation of officials, Eri is a former princeling, and he must strongly condemn Gal's behavior!
After calming down, Gal regained his royal dignity and solemnly said to Ari, "I will pay you the gold coins." ”
Ari didn't care, let out a strange laugh and said, "If you are still willing to pay gold coins after this month, I will respect you as a man......"
Under Gal's puzzled eyes, he led Gar into the castle. After settling Gal and eating dinner, Ari returned to his room and picked up the encyclopedia of herbs and plants.
Although it is not known where Garthers went, it can be seen from the fact that Garthers asked him to memorize it for three days, and the time to go out was about three days. He needed to finish the book in three days, and then let it disappear forever from Gathers' presence......
The next morning, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the cold air whirled outside the castle, and winter had really arrived in this small northern village.
"Garr, get up. "The same morning, the same episode happened again. In Garl's head full of resentment, Ari slammed the door.
"What are you doing so early?" said Gal yawning as he opened the door, in a rather unfriendly tone.
Ari looked at Gal with satisfaction, so that he looked a little like a second-generation official.
"I'm going to take you to training, it's a lot of fun. Iriellah picked up Garfy and went to the training ground.
It is more appropriate to say that it is a castle, and its practical manor is more appropriate, a large area of land is surrounded by walls, except that there are fewer people, and it is completely a small kingdom that can be self-sufficient.
The training ground is located in the manor, and a piece of land specially set aside by Ari is used for the daily training of samurai.
When he said to see the training, he actually came to see Eudora, after all, Eudora said bad things about him to his face, he couldn't just forget it, at least he had to see the results of the training - he admitted that he just wanted to see Eudora miserable......
